    Default Green Birdwing

    Some of you spoke about Sentosa BP's "birdwing". Imported from Indonesia, the Ornithoptera priamus poseidon (aka Green Birdwing, King Priam's Birdwing, etc), is a magnificent species which has a wingspan that exceeds our local Common Birdwing. The males are spectacular in terms of its green and black colours, whilst the females are really huge!

    Here's a shot of a male that I took in Sentosa BP some time ago (with my Coolpix 995)... and a shot of a pair which I leeched from this website.
